Adafruit Radio Bonnet RFM96W @ 433MHz - RadioFruit
Discontinued
The Adafruit Radio Bonnet RFM96W @ 433 MHz adds long-range LoRa radio to your Raspberry Pi. Plug it onto your Pi's GPIO header and communicate with remote sensor nodes over distances of up to 2 km (line of sight) using the license-free 433 MHz ISM band — far beyond what Wi-Fi or Bluetooth can reach.
The bonnet features an SX1276-based LoRa module with +5 to +20 dBm transmit power (up to 100 mW), a 128×32 OLED display for status messages, and three user-configurable buttons. CircuitPython libraries make it easy to send and receive LoRa packets, connect to LoRaWAN gateways, or set up your own single-channel gateway.
